The Palace enjoys a prestigious position with spectacular views of the Adriatic coastline, from Rimini right through to Ravenna, as well as the surrounding undulating valleys below including Montefeltro.It is located in an "Azienda Agricola" (farm) set amidst over 50 acres of agricultural land including the vineyards which produce premium quality D.O.C. wine meanwhile the prestigious extra virgin olive oil is cold pressed from the olives grown on the property.
The foundations dates back to the medieval days and can still be viewed down in the basement and wine cellar. Towards the end of 18th, Palazzo Astolfi (once called Palazzo Giliendi) was restored and converted to the Bishop's country residence, and the original coats of arms of he Archbishops testify this presence.
Today, the outside façade portrays the palace's 17th origin, particularly the façade looking out onto the park and the courtyard with an old well.
Inside there are a number of magnificent large banquet and dining rooms, some are still adorned with ceiling frescoes.
The kitchen is rustic with marvelous exposed wooden beams and boasts a typical old oven once used to make bread.
During the 19th century the cellar was used to make extra virgin olive oil for the entire valley. Some of the old millstones used to press the olives can be seen in the cellar.
All the dining rooms are furnished with authentic period pieces offering a warm, charming and elegant atmosphere which comfortably accommodates over three hundred guests. During summers, the surrounding gardens are a magnificent setting for any outdoor function. There is also children's park with various swings and games as well as ample parking for quests.
